The first Europeans visited the site of Melbourne in 1803. A group of settlers landed at Port Phillip Bay but within a year they moved on to Tasmania.
The city of Melbourne was founded in 1835. In that year a group of Tasmanian businessmen formed the Port Phillip Association to found a settlement on Port Phillip Bay. Acting on their behalf John Batman (1801-1839) bought land from the local Aborigines, the Dutigalla clan. However the Aborigines had no concept to owning or selling land and did not really understand the deal.
Nevertheless Batman and others then settled on the north bank of the Yarra River. A man named John Pascoe Fawkner AKA Little Johnny Fawkner (1792-1869) led another group, which settled on the south bank shortly afterwards.
However the governor of New South Wales Richard Bourke (1777-1855) declared that Batman's treaty with the Aborigines was invalid. Nevertheless settlers flocked to the new settlement and a town of huts and tents grew up. Eventually in 1837 Bourke was forced to accept the new colony.
He sent a surveyor named Robert Hoddle (1794-1881) to plan a proper town laid out in a grid pattern. At first the settlement was named Bearbass. However it was renamed after British prime minister William Lamb, Lord Melbourne (1779-1848).
St James Cathedral was built in 1842 and it was moved to its present site in 1913.
Meanwhile in 1837 Williamstown was laid out as a seaport for the town of Melbourne. However in the 1880s it was superseded by the growth of Port Melbourne.
In 1842 Melbourne was incorporated
